**This assay is only FDA approved for clinician-collected swab specimens from anogenital lesions. Swab collections from other locations or in absence of visible lesions are considered an off label use and have not been validated at this laboratory. Results should not be used as the sole means for diagnosis and should be correlated with the clinical presentation. |
